FRIDAY RANDOM TEN

Look out! Here comes another installment of the Friday Random Ten, that time-wasting space filler regular feature in which I post a list of random musical selections as barfed out by the iPod d’Elisson.

Ahhh, Friday. We were all set to take a weekend jaunt up to Asheville, North Carolina, when predictions of wintry weather intervened. Much as I might have enjoyed a view of the Blue Ridge Mountains under a fresh ten-inch blanket of snow, the prospect of trying to drive home through those mountains was more than just a little daunting. Discretion being the better part of valor, we elected to postpone our trip. Alas.

But being home has its own attractions, not least among them the chance to listen to my dopey Choon-Library. And here’s a taste for you:

Take Me to the Pilot - Elton John

If you feel that it’s real I’m on trialAnd I’m here in your prisonLike a coin in your mintI am dented and I’m spent with high treasonThrough a glass eye your throneIs the one danger zoneTake me to the pilot for controlTake me to the pilot of your soul

Take me to the pilotLead me through the chamberTake me to the pilotI am but a strangerTake me to the pilotLead me through the chamberTake me to the pilotI am but a stranger

Well I know he’s not oldAnd I’m told he’s a virginFor he may be sheBut what I’m told is never for certain
